Standard #: 8VAC20-780-410-1 Description: Based on observation of facility video, review of facility documentation and staff interviews, facility did not ensure that physical punishment, such as striking a child, does not occur.
Evidence:
1. A video was reviewed of an incident on October 4, 2022 between approximately 10:45 am ? 11:00 am. Children were observed sitting at a table. Staff #1 took a book from Child #1. Child #1 hit Staff #1 in the leg. Staff #1 responded by hitting Child #1 with her open hand on his upper right arm below his shoulder.
2. Staff #2 stated she was in the room on October 4, 2022, when the incident occurred. Staff #2 did not see the incident however she heard Staff #1 say ?Give me the books? and then there was complete silence. Staff #1 soon left the room and Child #1 began crying. Staff #2 went to the child and Child #1 stated she (Staff #1) hit him. Staff #2 reported what child stated to administration when they entered the room less than a minute after the incident.Plan of Correction: Staff #1 was terminated immediately and a self report was made. Administration will continue to review forbidden actions and physical punishment during orientation, with policies/handbook reviews and the completion of state trainings on the topic. The center will continue its practice of new hires not working alone initially and will monitor all staff for noticeable stress indicators.
